Recycled aluminium uses 5 percent of the energy that is used to make primary aluminium

About 75 percent of all produced aluminium is still in use

In Europe, about 70 percent of all aluminium cans are recycled – and used cans become new cans in less than 60 days

Aluminium is strong

Aluminium is very light, thanks to its low density. But extrusions can also be made strong and durable. It all depends on the application and the engineering behind it. In a ship, vessel designers can achieve weight savings of 40 percent over steel.
